this.

also, note. root explorer is NOT needed if using the adb method. it would behoove oneself to learn just a tad about adb if they dont know anything about it already.

i had to walk a friend through it over the phone because he smashed his screen and wanted to get pics off his DInc....lifesaver there
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
ADB is cumbersome and proprietary. It's useful when developing.... I don't expect the users to have the SDK installed on their computers. I know how to use it, but i'd recommend that everyone install a SSH daemon if they want to modify anything. It's easier, more powerful, and more compatible then ADB. You can do everything adb does at the ssh shell without a cable.

Don't forget the steps you did to set up adb. That's considerable work and long wait times in comparison to my general purpose methods.
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
I've contacted him before on issues. Even just the activation of the pro version. He's pretty much one the biggest douches I've ever had to deal with. He only dealt with the activation problems I was having when I threatened to post my email correspondence with him on xda. He turned around real fast then. Tried helping him on fc issues before and got blown off. ADW is where I'm bout to go. Just too many options for that launcher for me to use as home. Just don't like the side scrolling in tw and need more than a 4x4 home. Maybe I'll try zeam. Been hearing good about that one. But yeah the lp dev is a huge db.

Latest WiFi Update

For those following my WiFi issue and testing (Not an issue of or due to Andromeda...if further interest, search for my posts here if this topic is new to you): I give up. I installed a few apps; seemed to we working good; I installed a few more, seemed good, but waited a bit to install any more. But finally the WiFi Error. Uninstalled the apps, still get the error.

Seems I'm stuck with this problem. Can't get it located to any specific apps installed as causing it.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
proprietary? its only proprietary to android....funny, thats what we are using.

steps to setup ADB? first time i used it, i unzipped a folder to my computer. went into command prompt from there and started typing commands. it didnt get much easier than that. adb is not required to be INSTALLED, all you need is adb.exe to be in the same directory that you are in in cmd prompt....

you are likening this to YOUR experience in linux and the ease in which YOU use your tools....YOUR steps require the user to install a bunch of stuff on their phone, AND computer, then ensure they get it all working together right....adb is one file, no install required...

lets think about this just a tad:

they go through your steps and get their phone set up to use sftp and ssh, etc.

they try to flash something on their phone that causes framework failure and they are stuck with a pulsing black screen.

now you have to turn around and teach them ADB....double the work, because then they are freaking out not knowing how to use ADB and you or someone else is having to walk this person through setting up adb.... 'but i already have this ssh thing setup, how come i cant use it?'

one tool. multiple uses. not to mention, using adb in recovery is cake. no need to mount system r/w or anything. you have to reboot anyway....i mean... wtf? why make it MORE difficult in the end for the user?

Funny crash update

So here's an update to my crash:

It happened this morning and I didn't notice, phone is sitting here on my desk. And then it rang, only the screen didn't come on to answer it...so I swiped about where the swipe would be, and it work, and I talked. Then as soon as they hung up, the screen came on and worked...

Except for the main home screen. I could swipe to other screens, and they would work, but not the home screen.

I've used a couple different text widgets, and it does it regardless, so I'm thinking it may be an ADW issue.

If there is any other way to get a 5 icon dock than a launcher, please someone let me know?
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:

Edit, I think you cam have up to 8 icons on the dock
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Pirateghost: ADB is Android Debugging Bridge. It's great for debugging, but not for file transfer. I use it for easy transfer of apps when I'm writing them all the time.

For casual file transfer or testing it's alot easier to use Secure File Transfer Protocol. It's supported natively on 2 of the 3 major platforms. Windows has a lack of native secure tunneling support. That's a problem for windows users to handle themselves. SFTP and Secure SHell(SSH) are proven secure, encrypted and standardized protocols available on all platforms.

ADB emulates these two protocols without encryption. The equivalant, as far as ease of use of the methods I outlined, requires the user to install adbwireless on their phone. Even still, you're left having to use the command line to

adb push "C:\Documents And Settings\Adam\Desktop\myfile.apk" "/system/app"

Each time you wish to push a file.

If you install adbwireless, then you've got an open, unsecured, unpassword-protected, unencrypted, available at all times, root access port opened on your phones at all times. I do not recommend adbwireless. adb has no security built in. SSH/SFTP have password and encryption.

With the methods I outlined, you install the same low memory footprint, 0 processor use when idle, SSH/SFTP protocol used on every current version of Linux and Mac. It's a market app. Then you connect to it from your computer. If you're using Microsoft, you must install something as work-around for Microsoft's lack of security.

Using SSHDroid(from market), or QuickSSHd, you end up with a drag-n-drop file transfer method which is natively supported under all modern operating systems except windows and you never have to plug in your phone for ANY reason except to charge it... and you don't have to type anything to transfer files which makes it easier for the end user.

The first sound on the library was a Static sound. I didn't know where it comes... sorry for the non-existent bug!
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
My wife used a similar setup a while ago. After you set up your copy of windows, install ubuntu. Then from within Ubuntu, you can delete the /home/username/folders and symlink to your Windows /documents and settings/username/pictures, documents, music, downloads, and desktop.. It's a bit easier when moving between operating systems because all of your files are in the same locations. You may only need about 30gigs for ubuntu using this method.

Personally, I just run windows in a virtual machine which I can suspend and resume at any time. It's like having an extra computer on the same network.. except it's in a window on your desktop.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i know EXACTLY what all this is....what i am telling you is that ADB is ESSENTIAL to know when you are messing around with your phone all the time. if you flash a theme that breaks your phone, you dont have to re-flash, you just adb your framework back to /system/framework (from recovery).

and why are you typing all that out for a command?

c:\adb\adb.exe push file.apk /system/app/

or the user could spend the 2 minutes it takes to add your adb to the environment path....there are literally thousands of tutorials on how to use ADB and how to set it up. even videos. i understand that you are looking at it from just pushing files over, but i look at it much more than that. ADB has saved my ass so many times and is an invaluable tool.

i really dont get how you can say its 'great for debugging but not for file transfer'. you are merely trying to validate your claim under false pretenses. ADB is a great tool for just about anything you need to do on your phone.

adb install for side loading

adb reboot download to force it into download mode

adb reboot recovery to force it into recovery mode

adb push for pushing a file to your phone

adb pull for pulling a file from your phone

adb shell for a shell

adb logcat for logging

there are so many adb commands and options that its silly.

my argument is not that your method is wrong (because its not), but you should be promoting people LEARNING how to use ADB, even if its basic commands to get them out of jams. i dont think you read the part i already stated about people borking up their install and needing a way around having to reflash entirely. anyone that is willing to flash their phone and void their warranties should learn a valuable tool.

for one file transfer, one time, i dont see any reason for joe user to install ssh, set up winscp on their desktop and configure everything....now if i were transferring files back and forth all the time, i would probably set something up like that, but you know what? i prefer using ADB in recovery for that purpose. adb pull and adb push are great. i dont have to worry about running some script or a command that mounts /system as r/w or worry about superuser permissions....please dont confuse YOUR ease of use to that of joe user who doesnt understand linux setups.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Those commands are available from an ssh terminal as well, just dont have to type "adb reboot download"... you just type "reboot download". Anyways... we could go back and forth on this all day. People have options, some are native to the operating system, some are native to the phone with an adapter for your operating system. Either way.. sftp is an easier method of securely transferring files with a drag-n-drop action and no cables required, and adb is

the tool

for debugging and troubleshooting because of how early in the boot sequence it is started.

Im really impressed with this rom so far. The battery life is excellent as well as the call quality. I cant say I have any complaints. I just put this through the DC Metro Gauntlet. Started at 98 percent and ended with 94 percent when I got to work. Every rom that I have used ended in the 79-88 percent range. I was not expecting to stay in the 90 percent range at all.

Is this Kernel compatible with 2.2.1 based ROMs? I am using Continuum 4.0 with this Kernel. Everything seems to work, except it mount my internal SD card as read only. In "My Computer" on Windows 7, it shows as a CD ROM drive. The external SD card is mounted correctly, both read and write. If I use Onix or SpeedMod kernels with Continuum, the internal SD card is mounted correctly. However, I like the UrsaMinor kernel better. It seems a little faster and gives better battery life. Was just wondering if anyone has tried this Kernel on a 2.2.1 based ROM like Continuum.
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Does your wireless work?
[Captivate Android Development] greenleaf10:
Yes, everything else works perfectly fine (wireless, bluetooth, etc). I was actually on it for two weeks not noticing this issue until I wanted to transfer some files to my internal SD card. Initially, I thought it was a Continuum issue, but after switching to a different kernel and internal SD card starts working again, I think it is probably a kernel related issue.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
its a problem with the vold stab file. You can find them in DGs' firebird kernel thread they are posted several times. I would post them but I can't seem to be able to do it from my phone and I won't be near my computer till later tonight. Just do a search and click on the paper clip at the front of the thread it will show you all the downloadable files in that thread you want eithier the 2.2.1 voldstab.zip or the 2.2 voldstab.zip good luck.

[Captivate Android Development] billlapinga:
I came from Continuum 4 over the Andromeda just to try. All I can say is WOW. Way faster. I'm using the Ursa Minor 2 kernel and running a JVK modem. I installed a theme ported over by timbrendelaz at this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13099581&postcount=23. Very nice black and blue theme.

Also when I installed Andromeda, I did it on top of Continuum 4. I just wiped data, batt stats, voltage settings and cleared cache and dalvik. Then I flashed and the phone has been running very smooth since.

VERY GOOD ROM!

Andromeda3 Email with No Exchange Server Security

(aka. You can use the stock email with exchange and don't have to enter a PIN to unlock your phone)

WARNING: I am in no way responsible for what you do with this.

If you get fired from your job for dodging your company's email security then only you are at fault.

If anything bad happens to your phone or your livelihood, I can not be held responsible.

If you cry to me and blame me for anything, I will laugh at you and call you an EPIC FAILURE!

You've been warned!

Now if you still wish to continue:

I used the same method as here.

Follow those instructions, or simply place the app in the system>app folder using root explorer or similiar.

You may want to backup the email.apk already there.

The easiest way is to just rename the file to email.apk.bak with root explorer.

It could be any number of reasons why that happened. App conflicts, bad ROM flash, any number of systems had a rare hiccup, a cow in northern California farted twice in a row without moo-ing. Who knows...

when you select your boot animation, there is a dropdown. or at least there used to be let me check.

If everything was fine before it's more than likely that att is doing all the upgrades to the system they say they are doing, you could try a different modem, but this can get old just trying modem after modem.

[Captivate Android Development] dawei213:
Don't wait....do it now!

Just did some initial testing. Here are my some of mine thoughts:

1) GPS Test gave me a lock in about 5 seconds with 10 sat view / 10 sat used! Best ever!

2) The HSDPA/HSUPA rate is out of this world and blows Cog's out of the water. Using speedtest.net, I'm getting ~2500 kbps down and ~1500 kbps up consistently with the nearest server (Philadelphia). On Cog 4.1, I was maxing out at around 700 kbps and 180 kbps. During web browsing, viewing youtube clips on HD, it is a noticeable difference.

3) Swype works just fine.

4) Being able to use the power button to take a picture makes it so much more useful.

I don't know about battery life yet but so far everything the team has written about and delivered in the package is outstanding, so I will take their word that battery life is great (will probably be able to confirm by end of tomorrow).

Also, I just clear/wipe the user data, flashed directly over Andromeda 1.2, wiped Dalvich cache and reboot. I've never found the need to revert to stock if the flash will format and wipe the system files/folders. I have done it with a few different roms with no issues.

For those who are on the fence, get off of it and flash already! This is the real deal! Kudos to Team Komin.
